Additional licensing information

The license above applies to all files found in the downloads of the DK tools and libraries project.

The libraries and programs from this project use other libraries. Some of the used libraries are required, others are optional. The used libraries include:
- zlib
- libbz2
- libpng
- libjpeg
- libtiff
- OpenSSL
- wxWidgets
- MySQL
- Berkeley DB
- NDBM
- runtime libraries added by your compiler / linker.

You can find the license terms for the used libraries easily using a web search. Your use of DK tools and libraries must be in compliance to both the license used by the DK tools and libraries project and the licenses of the used libraries.

Some scripts provided by the DK tools and libraries project produce live systems. These live systems are derived from Debian GNU/Linux. The scripts provided by the DK tools and libraries project just make customization of these live systems easier. So the license for DKtoolian and Disklessian is the same license as used by the Debian project for Debian GNU/Linux itself, see http://www.debian.org for details.
